Helix Partner Portal Terms of Service

Updated: October 26, 2021

Helix OpCo, LLC and/or its affiliates (“Helix”, “we”, “us”) provides an online web portal through which it makes available the status and results of laboratory services provided to its partners (the “Portal”). Your access to and use of the Portal is subject to the following terms and conditions.

By accessing or using the Portal, you acknowledge that you are an authorized representative of an entity receiving laboratory services from Helix, and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service. Please read them with care. You acknowledge that Helix has entered into an agreement with the entity you represent (the “Agreement”) which may include terms that further govern your use of the Portal, and Helix has assigned a representative to assist with management of the Agreement and the Portal (the “Partner Manager”).

1. Changes to these Terms of Service and the Portal

Your use of the Portal is also subject to any applicable terms, policies, including Helix’s Privacy Policy, or rules that we may post or provide a link to on the Portal. All such applicable terms, policies and rules are considered part of these Terms of Service and incorporated by reference.

We may revise and update these Terms of Service from time to time and post the updated Terms of Service on the Portal. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and they apply to all access to and use of the Portal from that point onward. If you use the Portal after we post revised Terms of Service, you acknowledge and agree to the revised Terms of Service.

We reserve the right to modify or remove the Portal or any portion thereof in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason the Portal is unavailable at any time or for any period.
